Examples include genes for the yeast hexose transporter, whose amplification has been shown to increase fitness in a low-glucose environment [ 49], the nematode P-glycoprotein gene, the classical eukaryotic multidrug-resistance gene [ 36], and the fruit fly copper-binding metallothionein gene whose duplication is implicated in copper tolerance [ 40, 41].
3- O -methylglucose is a glucose analog that, in at least some organisms, is transported by hexose transporters [ 61 62 63 64 ] but is phosphorylated very inefficiently, if at all, by hexokinases [ 62 ] . Seedlings grown on media containing 3- O -methylglucose have 20:1 levels that are similar to the 20:1 levels of plants grown on approximately equi-molar concentrations of sorbitol, but that are much lower than the 20:1 levels of plants grown on equi-molar concentrations of glucose (Figure 2).
A large suite of conserved enzymes, such as glycosyltransferases (which form the hexose polymers), racemases (which generate D-amino-acid units), and peptidyltransferases and transpeptidases (which form inter-peptide linkages) are involved in the biosynthesis of peptidoglycan [ 3, 4, 5].
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are negatively charged polysaccharides derived from an amino hexose.
